   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to ensure easy removal of the dessert later.

2. Prepare the Crust:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and sugar until well mixed. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
   • Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
   • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.

3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:

   • In another mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese until it’s easy to blend.
   • Gradually blend in the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
   • Fold in the Cool Whip until well combined and smooth.
   • Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust in the baking pan.

4. Prepare the Pudding Layer:

   • In a separate bowl, prepare the Jell-O chocolate pudding according to the package instructions. You can use either cooked or instant pudding, whichever you prefer.
   • Once the pudding is ready, spread it carefully over the cream cheese layer in the baking pan. Ensure it covers the cream cheese layer evenly.

5. Final Touches:

   • Optionally, you can sprinkle additional chopped pecans or chocolate shavings on top for extra flavor and decoration.
   • Refrigerate the dessert for at least an hour or until it’s thoroughly chilled and set.
   • Once chilled, slice into squares or rectangles and serve cold.
